James Brown — How Do You Stop

Hard bodies Soft emotions So fast, huh, so smart The world's at your feet But what about your heart? Fame and power can't hold you tight In the late hours of the night How do you stop (How do you stop?) Tell me, before it's too late? You choose and you lose If you hesitate How do you stop (How do you stop?) Before it's too late? You think love will wait So you don't hold on And then it's gone, uh-huh And then it's gone You've had some success A new group of friends You call it the good life You thought it would never, never end One minute you're too young, then you're in your prime Then you're looking back at the hands of time How do you stop (How do you stop?) Tell me before it's too late? You choose and you lose If you hesitate Tell me, how do you stop (How do you stop?) Before it's too late? Ooh, ooh, you don't hold on And then it's gone How do you stop, a runaway train? How do you stop, the pouring, pouring rain? How do you stop, the night turning to day? How do you stop, love from slipping away? How do you stop, from believing? How do you stop, lovers from deceiving? How do you stop, the tide coming in? How do you stop, cold, cold wind? (How do you stop?) Hey, tell me, before it's too late? You choose and then you lose If you hesitate (hesitate) Hey, how do you stop (How do you stop?) A runaway train How do you stop, pouring, pouring rain? How do you stop, a heart with wings? And how do you stop, the innocent things? How do you stop, before it's too late? Choose and you lose, heh, heh If you hesitate How, how do you stop, before it's too late? Don't lie
